The Oath (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798985836127)

At age 26 in the 1980s, Flo Trapani was an officer with the Simi Valley Police Department when few women in America were joining the ranks of law enforcement. Flo's job as a cop made headlines, as she was one of only a handful of women on the force comprised mostly of men. But soon after she started the job, she learned she wasn't welcome in this male-dominated profession. Her fellow officers and superiors conspired to remove her from their ranks-to the extent that she feared her life was in jeopardy-which forced her to take an early retirement. Now, nearly four decades later, Flo is ready to share this story of deceit, betrayal and heartache-and the acceptance and forgiveness that helped her move on.
